Our mirrors drift and occasionally lose refs during syncs

Across several projects our mirrored repositories sometimes miss tags or branches after syncing, and reconstructing missing history costs us trust with developers. I want a consistent mirroring practice and a small set of monitoring steps to prevent drift. Which mirroring configuration, verification checks after each sync, and alerting rule would reliably keep mirrors faithful to upstream and quickly surface discrepancies?
